Windows 7: BSOD after several days of SSD boot drive; not with standard HDD

I am running Windows 7 x64 on an AMD 970. The boot drive is a Corsair CSSD-F120GB3 (Users, ProgramData reside on a separate, standard HDD; this was done correctly at installation).

After several hours to 7 days the PC would BlackScreen to a blinking cursor. This happened for months. Eventually, after replacing every other piece of hardware and updating all drivers, swapped out the SSD (copied the image to an older WD 250GB drive).

I have run 17 days without a crash.

I have run every health check I can on the SSD, but no errors.

Any ideas how to deal with this? I am not sure I can get a replacement, as I cannot test for a fault in the drive. I am also not sure it's not a software problem.

Here's a link to my last thread, where I figured this out, which has the minidumps. But this is the specific error:

CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION (f4)
A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been
terminated.
Several processes and threads are necessary for the operation of the
system; when they are terminated (for any reason), the system can no
longer function.

There are no new crashes. The bug report was for the last crash I had with the SSD. I swapped the SSD for a standard HDD, so I am running fine (albeit slower).

However, I can't tell if the problem is a Hardware problem or a software problem. So I posted here in Hardware hoping to find someone who has seen this problem with SSDs before. The drive does not fail any error checks, so I am not sure I can request an RMA for it. Plus, I am not convinced that this will fix it.

Ok, so if the below DMP is from before why did you include it now?

Have you looked in event viewer to see what is logged there? [B]

To check for freezing/crashing you need to check several things.

Event viewer.

Type eventvwr in search and go to the windows log>application tab.
Look for errors. Errors have red in the left hand column.

Look for errors that say app hang, or app crash, or anything related to the problem.
When you find them either take a screenshot of them and upload them to us, or note the event ID and source codes and look them up in google. If you cant find them in google tell us what they are.

Thanks for the info...
1) I included the old crash because that's what I am trying to analyze. I would like to make this drive work/
2) I have checked through everything that was mentioned in the Crashes forum (events, debugs, etc) and essentially the error was a generic hardware error. I have only semi-verified it by swapping out the offending hardware.
3) I reposted to the hardware forum hoping there would be a little better help here, since it appears to be the SSD.

It is not a hardware error

It is a software error as described here

CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION (f4)
A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been
terminated.
Several processes and threads are necessary for the operation of the
system; when they are terminated (for any reason), the system can no

That process could be terminated by a device but it is highly unlikely.

BSOD after several days of SSD boot drive; not with standard HDD

BSOD upon boot up, happens every 10-14 daysMy Dell Inspiron laptop for some reason gave me a BSOD when I booted up today. I restarted it and everything came up okay. This BSOD happens every two weeks or so. I checked the drivers at Dell & everything up-to-date is installed. I'm using MSE and Emsisoft Emergency Kit. I ran the dm collector...
